Team News

Darmstadt
Mainz
  • Fabio Torsiello has a muscle injury, while Fabian Holland is suspended for just one game after his red card last weekend.
  • Matej Maglica and Klaus Gjasula are both suspended for one more game after their red cards against Bayern.
  • Josuha Guilavogui is ruled out for several weeks with a thigh injury, while Stefan Bell has an Achilles problem.
  • Jonathan Burkardt is on his way back from a knee op, while Andreas Hanche-Olsen will miss the rest of the year with an ankle injury, and striker Nelson Weiper is ruled out after a knee surgery.
  • Silvan Widmer has problems with his adductors, while Anwar El Ghazi has been sacked by the club after a social media storm.

Prediction

  • Darmstadt have picked up three red cards in their last two games, unsurprisingly losing both, including a thumping 8-0 defeat in Munich.
  • After sacking head coach Bo Svensson, Mainz grabbed their first win of the season last weekend against Leipzig and also kept their first clean sheet in 17 games.
  • Mainz have scored only 11 league goals, coupled with the joint second worst defensive record with 24 goals conceded.
  • In a genuine relegation six-pointer, back Mainz to keep their winning run going.
